Another popular way to have curry in Japan is kare udon or curry udon soup. Curry udon soup is generally a soup with udon noodles in a thick curry flavoured broth. Sometimes it is as simple as the udon noodles with the curry flavoured broth and sometimes it has the full curry including the beef, carrots and potatoes. I prefer curry udon with the full curry as it makes a nice and filling meal. Curry udon combines the best of both worlds; You get the amazing flavours of the curry along fun of slurping noodles. :) Curry Udon

You don't always leftover curry lying around and sometimes you just don't feel like making a full curry when a curry craving hits. For those times you can make a quick curry udon from scratch. The Japanese curry roux comes divided like chocolate so you can easily break off a smaller piece to use in a single serving of curry udon. So it is as easy as adding a single servings worth of curry roux to some dashi and pouring it over udon noodles. Of course it would be better if you added some meat like beef or pork or chicken and some vegetables like onions, carrots and potatoes. This is great if you are seriously craving a quick curry fix.

Curry Udon with Leftover Curry

When you make a big pot of curry you are going to be eating it for a few days in a row so it is nice to change it up a bit. Curry udon is a great way to enjoy that leftover curry. Making curry udon is as simple as adding some curry to some dashi and pouring it over some udon noodles. (Another way to change up the leftover curry is to try serving the curry on udon noodles instead of rice.)

Give me a piece of bread and I am good to go with the curry but a great combination with the noodles. I love the Malaysian curry laksa ( yum, now that I talked about it, I have to make it!!). That is comfort food for me.

I can't tell you how much I looooove Japanese curry things. I'll take it in any format it's coming - soup, katsu, just on the side with a spoon, etc. Really need to make my own curry, to unlock the wonders of what goes into that stuff...

I have a silly question here. If you're wanting to make the curry with the udon noodles, can you not add the noddles to the curry to cook them? Or do you really need to cook them separately, then add the curry? It would seem the noodles would take on the flavor better if they were cooked with the curry, but I don't know if the texture would be bad? Thoughts? :-)

Kitten: You could cook the noodles in the curry, though you would have to add more liquid. I normally cook them separately as it is easier to control the consistency of the curry broth but the noodles would have more flavour if cooked in it. Great idea! Thanks for sharing!
